At $10 each, the eight-inch pizzas he and his staff at SmoQ were selling are self-described "labors of love".

The proceeds from Thursday's business will be added to the fund for the widow and children of Richard Evans, who like Zimmer was a independent, small-business owner and family man.

The 50 year-old Evans was shot to death inside his Cosmic Pizza business during a robbery attempt while his wife crouched on the floor and his three young children were in another room.

Video from his surveillance system aided authorities in identifying the suspect, John Deloney, 27, who showed no emotion today as he received a copy of the indictment and entered a plea of not guilty.

Defense attorney Perry Ancona said he had talked at length with Deloney, who was apprehended in Indianapolis days after the killing.

He waived extradition and was returned to the Hamilton County Justice Center where he will be held without bond while a trial date is discussed.

Conviction on a charge of aggravated murder could possibly result in a death sentence.Deloney has no other violent criminal charge on his record.

Dawn Murray, a friend of the Evans family who has started an on-line fund for the widow and her three children was unable to be in court for today's arraignment, but intends to closely track developments in the case.

"O is doing a little better each day," said Murray. "I think she is being strong right now for the family, for her children."

The outpouring of support has heartened Murray and the Evans family.

Although on-line donations have started to taper off a bit, the amount of money raised so far is around $39,000.

Fundraiser efforts like the one at SmoQ are keeping the plight of the murder victim's family in the public eye. Evans was the breadwinner, and his wife, from Thailand, relied on him for many aspects of daily life.

"We both loved what we do, we worked hard to raise a family and put out quality food," said Zimmer about the bond he shared with Evans as a shop owner. "I would hope as an independent operator, God forbid something ever happen to me, that someone would step up and take care of my wife and kids the same way."

Zimmer grimaces at the memory of having a gun at his head some 17 years ago during a robbery at a restaurant he ran in O'Bryonville.

He was at Evans' funeral last week while police were still trying to locate the suspect whose face was recorded so vividly by the security cameras in that Hartwell pizzeria.There has been no decision about reopening Cosmic Pizza, a place where the Evans children -- ages 8, 5 and 18-months -- once romped.

The pepperoni, cheese and sauce ingredients from their murdered father's shop were used by Zimmer Thursday to make the pizzas.
